If we had to cut a lineman....we cut Sitton who has not missed a game since 2011 and yet Bulaga who can't stay on the field remains...interesting. 8.5 million Bulaga vs. 6.5 million Sitton...Interesting. Bulaga's backup Jason Spriggs and Sitton's backup Lane Taylor...Interesting. I don't get it. But in Teddy we Trust...

If you thought this then why weren't you posting about Sitton being a potential cut? You didn't because you NEVER in a million years thought this would happen. Now, that it has you act as though it makes sense to you? It doesn't make sense. The spin is bizarre.

I'm not even trying to defend it. I am, however, saying that unless Ted has gone insane this was something that he was considering prior to today. Given Ted considered this possibly happening, it is reasonable to expect that he would've had idea on how to fill Sitton's spot on the starting O-line.

I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt that Plan-B is decent to the guy whose job it is to prepare a 53-man roster that will contend for the Superbowl.

Where was Plan B? We all knew we had Rodgers waiting in the wings behind Brett. There is NOBODY waiting in the wings. Lane Taylor? LMAO. Lane freaking Taylor? If it isn't Lane, then the guy starting will have taken ZERO snaps for us this pre-season at G. ZERO. So, Lane freaking Taylor or someone who has taken NO snaps. It's just not defensible in any sense. Those who defended playing Jared Cook at KC will have to wonder really hard about why we played NOBODY at G to prepare for Sitton's release other than Lane Taylor. I laugh when I type that dudes name...Lane...Taylor. Wow.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Over 10 teams have already expressed interest in Sitton, yet we released him for...NOTHING. The Packer way? Nope.

I think I'm a huge minority in this forum saying that I think Lane Taylor is a very good player.
I was happy with his new contract, but I never never would have seen this coming.

Maybe they think Sitton was a locker room problem if unhappy, maybe his back is not 100%, maybe his CAP space was too high and maybe they are confident in Taylor. But even then I'd have never in my sanity released Sitton while under contract without getting at least a 2nd round pick for him.

This is unbelievable.

So the Packers couldn't make a deal to trade Sitton ? Watch and see how fast another TEAM snaps him up and pays him what he is truly worth .

Tightwad Ted gets his way again and the Packers loose again.

HOW YOU LIKE TED NOW ? [tt]

Can't wait to hear what Aaron has to say. Sitton was incredibly popular per reports.

Kinda figured it was something on sittons end. It made more sense to pay Lang next offseason and let Sitton go and I bet Sitton just didn't want to wait for that. It sucks that this happened now though and not earlier in the offseason. I wonder how close Linsley is to coming back

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Zero- Did you see what I posted about Voice of Reason and his wife? She posted over at fleaflicker that they are both "In"

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Well, not crazy, it makes sense. Crazy I didn't notice/find it earlier

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : it's crazy how one stored procedure to get data bogged everything down for speed here

dfosterf (7-Aug) : to herd cats or goldfish without a bowl. They reminded me of the annual assembly of our fantasy league

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

wpr (7-Aug) : seems faster. yay

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Wife of reason posted on the in/out thread on fleaflicker that both she and vor are in

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : I thought that was the Lions OL

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Hey i didn't know we could trade picks in fantasy

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Update: Rock has tried a cheese curd, promises it's not his last

Zero2Cool (3-Aug) : watch it!! lol

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : you're right, we never did leave, the site just went down :P

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Rock claims to have never eaten a cheese curd

Zero2Cool (3-Aug) : We did not leave.

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money
